"share whatever he makes during the marriage with Susan" - my understanding is that you need to share not just what you make during marriage but also the assets

  That depends on the state. Most it is seen as separate unless you "co-mingle" them with shared assets, say invest in a business or home together.

  That depends on the jurisdiction -- and, mostly, that's the jurisdiction in which any hypothetical future divorce will occur. In California, pre-marriage assets are separate property, as well as certain things received during marriage (gifts, bequests, etc., as well as earnings such as rents derived from other separate property.) (California Family Code, Sec. 770.) Other things gained during the marriage are generally community (or, if gained outside of California, quasi-community, which is treated the same in a divorce) property.

  They cover this in the post but it depends on the state. Here is a snippet: > "Income generated from community property will remain community property, and income generated from separate property will remain separate property. So any investment income earned from Daniel’s savings before the marriage, or gifts or inheritances he receives during the marriage, will remain his separate property, while investment income generated from Daniel’s savings during the marriage will be community property."
